You are studying lipoprotein processing in a strain of mutant mice. You find that these mice synthesize the same apolipoprotein

composition contained in lipoproteins made in the liver and the intestines, whereas, in wild-type mice there are 2 different sized apolipoproteins in these same tissues. Examination of the mRNA processing in the mutant mice would most likely show a defect in which of the following processes?A. alternative polyadenylationB. alternative splicingC. differential cappingD. posttranscriptional modification converting a U to a T residueE. RNA editing

Answer: Option E -- RNA Editing

Explanation:

It should be noted that, RNA editing can be defined as a molecular process via which some cells can make discrete changes to specific nucleotide sequences within an mRNA molecule after it has been generated by RNA polymerase. In addition, we have two major types of RNA editing with 1 being a C-to-U change catalyzed by cytidine deaminase that deaminates a cytidine base into a uridine base, e.g C-to-U editing is with the apolipoprotein B gene in humans. ApoB-100 is expressed in the liver and apoB-48 is expressed in the intestines. The B-100 form comprises of a CAA sequence that is edited to UAA, a stop codon, in the intestines.

In an effort to control vegetation overgrowth, 100 rabbits are released in an isolated area that is free of predators. After one
suter [353]

Answer:

It will plateau and the population will stabilize in relationship to available resources.

Explanation:

Having an unhinged rabbit population with no predators and an abundance of food will cause the population to initially increase. This increase will be due to an environment free from predation and also encouraged by an abundance of food.

In time these rabbits will increase in number and will put a strain on food supply. Dwindling resources will put pressure on reproduction. In addition to this these have a limited gene pool since they have been only reproducing with each other. This will pass along any disease sensitivity that they may have. In the even that a disease is introduced into the population many of them will be wiped out.

In conclusion, without a constant food supply to support a growing population the rabbit population will not multiply exponentially, indefinitely.

Stella [2.4K]
Good Afternoon, 

I believe what you are speaking of may be the following. There is the equator is the center of the earth. Then, their is, on top of the equator, The Tropic of Cancer which passes through Cuba. On the bottom of the Equator, is the Tropic of Capricorn which passes through the Amazon Forest in South America. I hope that i have helped and good luck!

Thank you,

Hydrochloric acid (HCI) is a strong acid.what ions are formed when HCI dissolves in water?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

H₃O⁺ and Cl⁻

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid, a strong acid will ionize completely in solutions.

When acids ionize in water, they produce excess hydroxonium ions in such solution.

   

   HCl  +  H₂O →  H₃O⁺ +  Cl⁻

The HCl and H₃O⁺  forms a conjugate pair and likewise the H₂O and Cl⁻

In this ionization, water acts as the base.
